Audio Rentals: Mics, Speakers, and PA for Booths and Sessions
Powered speakers, mixers, and wireless handheld, lavalier, and headset mics for booth presentations, panels, and breakout sessions.
At a glance
ConventionVendor.com rents powered speakers, mixers, and wireless microphones (handheld, lavalier, and headset) for booth presentations, panels, and breakout sessions. We plan around how many people talk at once, the room, and any neighbors who should not hear you.
People forgive an average slide, not bad sound
Sound rentals cover the room and the person talking, from a booth demo to a breakout or general session.
Powered speakers handle booths and small rooms, with a mixer when there is more than one microphone or a playback source.
Microphones come as wireless handhelds, lavaliers, and headsets, with a wired backup when a session cannot stop.
| Open mics at once | Drives mic and mixer count |
|---|---|
| Presenter who walks | Lavalier or headset |
| Audience questions | Handheld |
| Video or walk-in music | Playback input on the mixer |
| Backup | Spare batteries and an extra transmitter |

Audio on the show floor
Many shows limit how loud a booth can be. Check your exhibitor manual and plan a headset mic and a speaker aimed into the booth rather than the aisle.
For sessions, think about neighboring rooms that should not hear yours, and keep spare batteries and an extra transmitter for the key session.
